Abstract: A method for monitoring an on-board power supply of a motor vehicle. A power distributor is provided, via which a supply voltage is supplied to a safety-relevant consumer and via which non-safety-relevant consumers are supplied. A disconnection of consumers takes place if at least one measure of the voltage applied at least to the safety-relevant consumer reaches a limit value. After disconnecting consumers, the measure of the voltage applied to the safety-relevant consumer is ascertained. The measure of the voltage applied to the respective safety-relevant consumer is respectively compared to a further limit value for a sufficient voltage. From the disconnected consumers, at least one consumer to be connected is selected, which is connected if the limit value is respectively reached at the safety-relevant consumers. The consumer to be connected is selected as a function of a connection measure such that the connection measure is not exceeded.

Abstract: An electric contact element comprises a bent portion. The bent portion has a cross-section including at least one of a plastically flattened side in the bent portion or a corner that has a chamfer in the bent portion for maintaining accuracy of a bending process used to form the bent portion.

Abstract: The invention relates to a two-part crimped contact element. The invention further relates to a method for producing a two-part crimped contact element. The invention further relates to a device for producing a two-part crimped contact element. Previous crimped contact elements comprising two portions have a high transition resistance between the two portions and insufficient mechanical stability. The crimped contact element according to the invention overcomes these disadvantages by at least one pressure-shaped connection element being used to connect the two portions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a friction element (1), comprising a main body (2) having a friction layer (5), characterized in that the friction layer (5) has an arithmetic average roughness value Ra according to DIN EN ISO 4287 between 3 ?m and 10 ?m, a wave depth Wt according to DIN EN ISO 4287 of at least 30 ?m and a mean groove width Rsm according to DIN EN ISO 4287 of at least 150 ?m. Pores of the friction layer have a pore size which is selected from a range with a lower limit of 25 ?m and an upper limit of 900 ?m.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing a friction lining whereby a friction paper is displaced with a latex based on an elastomer and fibers of the friction paper are then bonded one another due to precipitation of the elastomer out of the latex. A non-surface active protective colloid is added to the latex as a suspension agent before applying it to the friction paper.
